Highest Wind engineering partners made public.

We've used an article in the Union Leader to make public our relationship with two local partners now providing engineering and eventually manufacturing services for Highest Wind. The article is mostly accurate, though I haven't yet been able to clearly explain to the reporter the difference between kiloWatts and kiloWatt Hours. (Update: the reporter says he had it correct but his editor changed it. Yet another liberal-arts major with a poor understanding of science.) The real numbers are; 30 kiloWatts of continuous power production which will lead to an annual average energy production of more than 130,000 kiloWatt hours. Stating a daily number of kiloWatt hours will never be accurate. Some days are windier than others. Best case, the wind is blowing hard all twenty four hours: 30 kiloWatts of power produced for 24 hours = 720 kiloWatt hours of energy produced.
Here's the link to the article in Union Leader.
